Warren sings for others' suppers
by Laurie Lindahl
I failed Journalism 101 to-day.
I interviewed'Scott War-ren,
professional Christian
performer, without doing my
"homework." Before the inter-view,
all I knew about Warren
was that he is doing a benefit
concert for Bread for the
World at 7:30 this evening,
April 22, in the Robertson
Physical Education Center.
(Tickets are $3 at the door).
Now, as all good journal-ists
know, the first rule to
good interviewing is to know
something about your inter-viewee.
This is called theory.
It is found in textbooks and
on chalkboards. Occasionally,
theory gets lost in a boring
book and reality erases the
board with only a shadow of
chalk left to outline those
proverbial keys to success.
This happens enough so that
we are not shaken when it
does and happily surprised
when it does not.
I was happily surprised by
Scott Warren. He fuses the-ory,
or his philosophy of
things, into the practice of his
music in a way that refuses to
bore or pamper his audience.
He is subtle. "I like to make
people think about what I'm
saying without having to spell
it out to them," he said. "I
want them to listen and draw
their own conclusions."
In this way, Warren is like
an artist painting a picture—
there are many different in-terpretations,
but each person
must find his or her own.
This is rather new for those of
us on the Christian concert
consortium who are used to
being told what a song is
going to say even before
we hear it. This is part of
what makes Scott Warren
unique—he refuses to spoon-feed
his audience.
"When I compose," he said,
"I try to write about what my
audience needs to hear, not
what they want to hear." This
is no easy task, especially
considering the variety of peo-ple
he plays to. Whether he is
playing in a club, a state uni-versity
or a private college,
his main concern is to be able
to communicate to a non-
Christian audience. "For a
long time, Christian artists
have tended to edify the Chris-tian
community—and that's
important too—but I think
the real place we should be
sowing seeds is in the non-
Christian marketplace," he
said. "Too often we ignore or
neglect this responsibility."
Ah, responsibility . . . Does
this have anything to do with
the fact that you are doing a
benefit concert for Bread for
the World? I asked. Warren
smiled. "I believe in Bread for
the World because it is an
organization that is seeking
to claim this responsibility,"
he said.

Three criteria guide Bethel admission policy
by Paul Davis
Bethel has an admissions
policy based on three areas.
The first of the three re-quirements
is the academic
area. This is the most impor-tant
area of consideration.
Three things are evaluated in
this area. First is the appli-cant's
previous academic rec-ord.
This is usually the high
school transcript. Second is
the applicant's rank in the
class. Only students in the 50
and above percentile are con-sidered
for regular admission.
Third is the college entrance
exam score.
According to Dan Nelson,
director of enrollment, the
most important aspect is the
student's actual overall per-formance.
"We look for stu-dents
with more college prep
courses, social studies, math,
science, and foreign language.
Students with a 2.0 GPA or
higher are considered for ad-mission.
The second area of require-ment
is the Christian Faith
Statement. This is a statement
found in the application pack-et,
that reads: "Do you con-sider
yourself a Christian?" It
is followed by a "yes" box and
a "no" box. The applicant is to
check the appropriate box,
and then to explain the an-swer.
These are read by the
admissions committee, which
consists of Phil Kimball, direc-tor
of admissions, Chet Duck,
registrar, and a member of the
student development office.
The committee decides
whether the explanation is ac-ceptable.
If it is not, the appli-cant
is informed of the rea-son,
and admission to Bethel
is denied.
For students wishing to ap-peal
the decision, an appeals
procedure is available. An ap-peals
committee made up of
students and faculty meets on
demand to review appeals. A
student can be admitted to
Bethel upon request of the
appeals committee.
The third basis for admis-sion
is the acceptance of the
Bethel lifestyle. The lifestyle
statement must be dated and
signed for acceptance, if it is
not, the application form is
returned to the applicant to
be signed. When the signed
form is received, the admis-sions
board will consider ad-mitting
the applicant.
There is more than one type
of admission. The first kind is
regular admission. Most of
the students at Bethel (85-
90%) are admitted "regularly."
This means that the student
has submitted all of the nec-essary
forms for admission,
his or her admission has been
reviewed by the admissions
board, and he or she has been
accepted.
The second kind of admis-sion
is a provisional admis-sion.
These applicants have
met all of the requirements
except the academics. But the
admissions committee feels
that they have the ability to
do well at the college level, if
they adhere to special stipu-lations.
Some are not allowed
to participate in extra-cur-ricular
activities, or are re-quired
to participate in study
groups.
The third kind of admis-sion
is special admission. This
is given to community mem-bers
or employees who wish
to pick up an extra course, but
who are not looking for a
degree.

Christians' 'dialects'
build needless barriers
"Have you invited Jesus to step into your heart? He's
standing outside knocking, but the only doorknob is on the
inside," said the Sunday school teacher.
My German friend—a committed Christian—looked
blank. She didn't know the dialect. She could talk about
confession of her sins and communion with her Lord and
obedience, but not about hearts with pedestrians and
doorknobs. Neither my friend nor the teacher could translate
the other's way of talking about her experience.
This friend of mine, as loyal a Catholic as I am a Baptist,
left the Sunday school class with the feeling that she had
been weighed in the balance and found wanting.
What was it that prevented these two "sisters" from
knowing and feeling their common bond? From glorifying
their God together? Language, it seems, can be a barrier as
well as a bridge between humans.
I'm very sorry that my friend and my Sunday school
teacher missed an uncommon opportunity: glorifying God
together with a "stranger."
I would never wish or pray for a watered-down version of
Christianity in which any individual's relationship to God is
undermined "just so that we can all agree." But I do pray, and
earnestly, that brothers and sisters can get past differing
descriptions to the shared meaning they camouflage.

To the women of Bethel:
Recently in a New Bedford,
Massachusetts bar, a young
mother was brutally gang-raped
on a pool table. Twelve
other men in the bar re-sponded
to her screams for
help during the two-hour or-deal
by cheering the rapist.
About the same time, four
Bethel men left notes in the
POs of ten Bethel women,
honoring them as the "Top
Ten Women at Bethel."
We respond to this "Top
Ten" list with the same rage
shown by the citizens of New
Bedford who gutted the bar;
we will not tolerate attitudes
that regard women as objects.
This list, published by the
"Phoenomenal (sic) Fours,"
may seem innocuous corn-pared
to the rape, but it comes
from the same mentality
which treats women as less
than complete human beings.
On a list such as this, worn-en
are evaluated by our phys-ical
appearances rather than
by our abilities, experiences,
and perceptions. Women are
valued only insofar as we
relate to men, not as human
beings.
The men who stood by and
watched the young woman
raped saw her not as a human
being whose body was her
own, but as chattel, whose
body was for their use.
We are more than pieces of
meat, to be rated "1-10" on
"harmless, fun" lists. "Harm-less,
fun," sexist, objectifying
lists form attitudes which al-low
twelve men to watch a
fellow human being's person
brutally violated.
We, the undersigned, refuse
to tolerate these "fun" jokes
any more than we tolerate
brutal rapes. We ask women
at Bethel to become aware of
these painful attitudes and to
seek one another's strength
and support in fighting
against them.

Current surveys show that
98 of the students currently in
science courses at Bethel are
interested in the health
sciences.
In the past, these students
have been left alone in plan-ning
their courses in these
areas. But beginning next
year, a new health professions
advisor will be available to
help students. This position
will be filled by Dale Steph-ens,
professor of chemistry.
According to Stephens, "stu-dents
need to be aware of
options other than medical
school."
This new advisor will begin
next fall to help students plan
their future in the medical
fields. The responsibilities of
this advisor will be: 1) To
gather and maintain informa-tion
from all schools and pro-grams
in health-related fields,
2) coordinate activities of the
student group(s), 3) advise
students on course selection
for the specific programs they
are pursuing, 4) assist in pre-paring
students for MCAT
(Medical College Admissions
Test), DAT {Dental /Aptitude

"I can't believe how fast the last nine miles went by," said the
wave as it rolled with great anticipation toward shore.
"Only a half mile and you get to break," stated the second
wave.
"The wait really wasn't that bad, I think I even may have
learned something." The wave continued to build in preparation
of the final break.
"I'm glad that you rolled and waited with the rest of us. Had
you broken when you wanted to, our timing would have been all
messed up," gurgled another.
"I can't believe that the first spring thaw is already here," said
the icicle as it dripped unto the pavement below.
"Just think, you finally get to melt," stated the second icicle.
"Now that I think about it, I really didn't mind the cold." The
icicle continued to melt as it hung from the garage roof.
"I'm glad that you decided to hang in there and wait like the
rest of us. The timing just wasn't quite right before," stated the
second icicle.
"I can't believe that the smaller ponds are starting to freeze
over," said the duck as it prepared its wings for takeoff.
"Migration time is finally here," stated the second duck.
"I'm glad that I listened to that inner voice and stuck around

one last time.
"It's good that you waited. Had you left, you never would have
met your new wife," quacked another.
The little boy arrived home, went in, and smiled.
"Thank you for your answer. You do hear all that I say. You
understand all that I think. Thank you for helping me wait and
be patient. Thank you for your timing, it's perfect," said a voice
from the world.
"OH HOW I LOVE YOU," stated the voice from above.

exposed the win-ter-

An interest in leadership
and motivating people is why
Anderson is running for vice
president though he lacks ex-perience
with Bethel student
government. He is a history
and political science major
with plans for graduate school
in political science.
Barr and Anderson said
they would like to see the
senate as a more viable force
in the community. With a one-ness
of purpose they said they
feel that the students can do
things to affect Bethel and the
community. "We'd like to see
the Bethel community active
in BSA activities," said Barr.
He suggested open forums.
"We- want to be more in
touch with the students," An-derson
added. "with a panel
for questons and a place to
take gripes we want to be a
voice to student organiza-tions."
He said, "We're stress-ing
leadership for the students
representing the students,
pushing for what students
want."
Instead of concentrating on
internal changes in the senate,
Barr said they plan to focus
on external changes that will
have an effect on Bethel and
the community. He said the
internal changes are impor-tant
but will not be their pri-mary
goal.

"Servant leadership made
visible" typifies the style of
leadership Steve Van Sickle
and Bob Thompson hope to
provide as president and vice •
president of BSA.
"We plan to live what we're
doing," said Van Sickle. "We'll
assess the role of president
and vice president and fit
them to our personal talents.
That way we can use our
strengths in important areas."
Both Van Sickle and
Thompson served as student
senators last year and as pres-ident
pro tempore this year.
Thompson, a political science
major, resigned from the posi-tion
to commit ample time to
being an AD. Because of sche-duling
conflicts and the dis-tance
involved, the two have
met only once to put together
a campaign and a philosophy.
Recently, Thompson and
Van Sickle attended the 1983
Taylor Leadership Conference
at Taylor University in Indi-ana.
Both were very im-pressed
by that school's stu-dent
government.
"We'd like to incorporate
into the Bethel constitution a
student leadership board that
includes representatives from
not only the BSA, but also
groups such as the Clarion,
Inter-Varsity, and other or-ganizations,"
said Van Sickle.
"The system works very well
at Taylor."
Van Sickle would also like
to institute a fall break for the
1984-85 school year by going
through the proper adminis-trative
channels. "Many peo-ple
I've talked to want a four-or
five-day weekend during
the fall. If we can show there's
a need for it, we can pass it."
Budget cuts threaten the
existence of many organiza-tions
at Bethel. In a time of
declining enrollment, the mon-ey
will become even tighter.
Van Sickle plans to fight for
the retention of as many ac-tivities
as possible. "I feel that
I have a real good hand with
the administration because
I've worked with them on dif-ferent
projects." Van Sickle
would like to open up corn-municatoin
between adminis-trators
and students. "Stu-dents
need to see the pres-ident
walking around, to real-ize
that he's a real person. We
all have a united purpose in
education."
In order for Student Senate
to be effective, Van Sickle
feels that students need to be
involved. However, he does
not entirely blame them, but
places part of the fault on the
BSA for not properly inform-ing
students. Marked for par-ticular
improvement is stu-dent
participation on joint
committees. "Students don't
realize the influence they
have," said Van Sickle. "A lot
of grass roots stuff begins in
committee. Few colleges af-ford
students an equal vote
with faculty on policy issues
like Bethel does."
"Another way we'd like to
see studehts involved is to get
them out in the community.
We need to develop an aware-ness
of BSA outside of Bethel.
It would add credibility to
BSA for the future if we could
pull off some service projects
very professionally. That
way, people won't be afraid to
come here when they need
help."
Van Sickle senses that a
Tack of school spirit plagues
Bethel and keeps it from
reaching its full potential. "It's
been said a lot before, but we
need to develop a real campus
unity. We'd like to create a
parent's booster club, not just
parents of those in athletics,
but any who are interested.
We don't want money, just
support. We'd like to expand
on the good start made this
year."
Van Sickle also hopes to
expand the Student Senate.
"We'd like to work closely
with Campus Coordinator to
make events more palatable.
At the recent Farrell and Far-rell
concert only 200 tickets
were sold to Bethel students.
We need gimmicks and adver-tising
to get people on campus
involved."
An important part of Stu-dent
Senate is the individual
representative. "They must to
be sensitive to the needs and
ideas of their constituency,"
said Van Sickle. "By using the
grapevine they discover com-mon
gripes and positive reac-tions.
At our meetings they
can be discussed and analyzed
to see if anything can be done."
Despite all the proposed
changes, Van Sickle merely
sees next year as a continua-tion
of this one. "Basically we
want to keep up with what
Steve (Goodwin) and Steve
(Lemon) have done. They've
established a good credibility
base, and we'll build from
there."

Anderson. "The one thing we
can come together on is Jesus
Christ to have an emphasis
on one truth rather than
many." He said, "We're also
Christains serving God, seek-ing
to know him better and
receive an education. We need
to have an identity as a Chris-tian
school, not just another
school."
Barr said to vote for them
one would need to believe in
their character and in them as
individuals. "And think we'll
work hard," he added.
"Whatever we do, our focus
should be on Christ," said
Barr. He said they would like
to see the students more in-volved
in community service
and taking political stands.
"We have this idea of what
needs to happen," said An-derson.
"It may be a longer
process than we think [to mo-tivate
people]. We're not ex-actly
sure how we're going to
do it. You don't know how to
begin except to provide strong
leadership."
Barr said he would also like
to see the representatives
speak in the dorms and with
the people they represent.
They said that they would
like the senate representation
to remain by class levels, in
regards to the proposed new
constitution.
Barr said a reorganization
of the financial structure is
needed and he favors the idea
of a student comptroller to
oversee the BSA budgets.
"We want to be more than
someone who shakes his or
her head and smiles, agreeing
with everything," Anderson
said.
Anderson said he thinks he
and Barr can work together.
"We have a unity and a check
and balance," he said.
"We're genuinely con-cerned
about Bethel," said
Barr. "We want to convince
people of our convicton to
serve Bethel. In a nutshell, we
want to be there to serve
Bethel College."
Carlson/Eliason
by JoAnn Watkins
"We see an abundance of
opportunities and they're ex-citing
opportunities," said
Barry Carlson, candidate for
BSA President.
"We're in this to do our jobs
and to do it well," said his
vice-presidential running
mate, Marilyn Eliason.
Carlson, a business major,
brings experience from his
own company as well as 3-
M and Control Data. He pres-ently
serves on the Food Ser-vice
committee and is a mem-ber
of the Bethel Business
Association. "I know there are
a lot of things I can bring to
BSA," said Carlson. Though
Carlson met Eliason within
the last two weeks he said he
does not see any problems.
"Of the six running no one is
as qualified as Marilyn."
As .BSA Executive Secre-tary
this year and as a senator
during her freshman and
sophomore years, Eliason has
experience working with sen-ate.
She has served as chair-person
of the Public Action
Committee, on the committee
for handicapped students,
member of the Hunger Action
Coalition for Minnesota, Mid-west
Regional coordinator for
the American Association for
Evangelical Students and Na-tional
Publications Director
for AAES. She is presently 'a'
member of the Convocations
Committee and involved in
the campaign for financial aid.
"Our campaign is centered
around a holistic atmosphere:
spiritual, academic, and so-cial,"
said Eliason. She said
they hope to make the student
organization more visible and
continue the programs of ser-vice
that BSA is involved
with.
"We'd like to establish a
committee for getting people
excited for what's going on at
Bethel," said Carlson. He ex-plained
that this committee
would promote school spirit
and beginning new Bethel
traditions.
Other issues the two can-didates
wish to address is the
inclusion of students in the
process of establishing the
budget. They said they would
like to bring back the All-
School Banquet. Carlson said
he would like to see students
working to promote the image
of the Bethel student in the
Twin Cities area.
As vice-president of the
BSA, Eliason's duties would
center around the Student
Senate. She said she plans to
work for an efficiently run
senate. "I'd like to see a train-ing
program for senators so
they know more about the
senate and how it functions,"
she said.
Another idea to • increase
comunication with the stu-dents
is a news flyer to go in
the dining areas regarding is-sues
the BSA is dealing with.
"We want students to know
what they're paying for and
to get what they're paying
for," said Eliason. "Most peo-ple
don't know how to voice
their views about decisions
such as where their money is
being spent." She said, "Stu-dents
are paying more and
more and more and getting
less and less and less."
"We've got to find a way to
make people see the good
they're accomplishing as sen-ators
and how they are bene-fiting
themselves," Carlson
said. "They have to see beyond
sitting in meetings and see
what they are doing in the
long run."
"If BSA represents the
school then the entire school
should be represented in the
BSA," said Eliason. She said
she would like to see the un-derclassmen
better represent-ed
and involved in the BSA
organizations. "The role," she
said, "of the BSA is to work to
get the students together and
work together."
Carlson said he and Eliason
fit together well in relation to
their experience and ideas,
and that they both feel they
can work together.
"Our purpose is to promote
what we can do best for the
students," said Eliason. "We're
in this to do our jobs and to do
them well." She said, "We
don't have all the answers,
but we want to give it our
best shot."

Campus recruiting, job offers down for class of '83
(CPS)—Despite some encour-aging
signs that the nation's
economy may be starting to
pull out of the worst Ameri-can
recession since World War
II, the recovery has yet to
show up on campus, and prob-ably
won't in time to help this
spring's graduates find jobs
right away, college placement
officers say.
In fact, campus recruiting
and the number of job offers
to graduating seniors are
down again this spring, while
experts say starting salaries
are lagging behind even the
declining inflation rate.
Even engineers and compu-ter
science majors, who gen-erally
have had their pick of
jobs in recent years, are hav-ing
more trouble getting work
this spring, the officers add.
"Last year was a tough year,
and this year's going to be
even worse," warns Victor
Lindquist, placement chief at
Northwestern University and
director of the Endicott Re-port,
an annual survey of job
prospects for college grads
nationwide.
"For the Class of '83, it'll be
the toughest year since World
War II," adds Jack Shingleton,
Michigan State's placement
director and coordinator of
that school's annual national
student job survey.
Other campus placement di-rectors
report spring recruit-ment
is off as much as 50 per-cent
from last year's de-pressed
levels.
Consequently, the summer
job market will be - more
crowded than ever, with fewer
jobs available as companies
continue to delay hiring new
employees.
"There'll be 1,300,000 stu-dents
graduating this spring,"
Shingleton points out. "There'll
be a million jobs open."
Overall, Shingleton thinks
students with bachelor's de-grees
will get 17 percent fewer
job offers than a year ago.
Liberal arts majors will
have the hardest time finding
work, Shingleton's study
found.
Things are better for elec-trical
engineers, computer
science, business and other
engineering grads, in that or-der.
Oregon State Associate
Placement Director Majorie
McBride is urging students to
"get out and contact employ-ers
directly," rather than rely-ing
on campus interviews.
"This year is just the worst
I've ever seen," she moans.
"We'll be hiring considera-bly
less this year," says Phil
DeLong, spokesman for the
American Telephone and Tel-egraph's
college recruitment
division. "Partly because of
the economy, and partly be-cause
of our divestiture pro-ceedings,
we're taking a cau-tious,
wait-and-see attitude."
admissions, from page 1
is special admission. This is
given to community members
or employees who wish to
pick up an extra course, but
who are not looking for a
degree.
The last kind of admission
is credential admission. "This
is the rarest type of admis-sion,"
said Nelson, "there are
only four to six in any given
year." These students take
classes, but are not enrolled
as students. They come to
Bethel for one year or one
semester, the amount of time
is determined by the admis-sions
committee. These stu-dents
receive no financial aid,
and are placed on the bottom
of the housing priority list. If
they show that they can han-dle
the college level work,
they are allowed to enroll as
regular students and their
grades are put on their per-manent
records.
According to Nelson, the
statement of faith is more
important than the academ-ics.
"Bethel is not a mission,"
said Nelson. "We don't want
people to parrot what they
have heard when they sign
the profession of faith. There's
a difference between saying it
and really coming to grips
with it," said Nelson.
"Bethel is under pressure to
lower academic standards,
but we have not," said Nel-son.
"We know who we are,
and everyone else knows who
we are," he added.
The number of students ad-mitted
each year is about 85-
90% of the number of applica-tions
received. Of the appli-cations
received between 5%
and 8% are flatly , rejected.
This low denial rate is due to
the fact that most applicants
know what Bethel is about,
said Nelson. Surveys taken in
the fall of the freshman year
show a high degree of satis-faction
with Bethel.
Nelson said that the big-gest
reason for next year's
drop in continuing students is
the large number of graduates
this year. "The administration
has successfully cut the bud-get
without cutting offerings,"
said Nelson. "Next year's stu-dents
receive no _reduc-tion
of service from Bethel."

Poe-style puzzler
to pique cryptographers
by Mike Doran
Here is a cryptogram. Solve it for a five dollar prize!
Edgar Allen Poe began a type of cryptography in his tale "The
Gold Bug." This type of cryptography has a form in which the
letters for the coded message are changed around. The punctua-tion
remains the same. For instance, `#' could equal `t,"3' could
equal 'h,' and `f could equal `e,'; therefore, '413i' equals 'the.' Read
"The Gold Bug" for further help if need be.
Turn in the solved cryptogram with your name and PO to the
Clarion office by April 29 and from the correct entries a winner
will be drawn. The winner will be announced in the May 6 Cla-rion.
Procede with this clue: it is from a Shakespearian play.

The newly distributed 1983-84 Registration catalog has on
page 5 "An Invitation to Bethel College." Included in this invita-tion
are basic principles upon which all activities at Bethel are
built. The fourth of these principles states "The reality of the
Christian life will be apparent in personalities that show the
`fruit of the spirit....love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, good-ness,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. — The familiar
passage from Galatians that is used here includes many attri-butes
that are evident in a Christian's life. However, I would like
to zero in on just one, faithfulness, and one way it applies to the
Bethel community.
Being faithful is to be true to one's word, promise, or vow. In
the Bethel community most people try to be faithful to all of their
commitments. However, there appears to be an increasing num-ber
who are unfaithful to a specific commitment they have
made: to live acccording to the Bethel lifestyle statement. It is
difficult to determine how widespread this problem is at this
time, but the consensus seems to be that incidents of lifestyle
violation are on the rise.
Every member of the Bethel community has made a commit-ment
to live by a lifestyle that is very specific and clearly stated.
Students who apply for admission sign a statement that reads,
"I am acquainted with the Bethel lifestyle as stated in the admis-sions
catalog and/or the admission application packet. I am
willing to accept this lifestyle pattern as my own while at
Bethel." Faculty and staff sign a similar agreement when signing
a contract to be employed at Bethel.
If we disagree with portions of the lifestyle statement there is
a procedure any member of the community may initiate that
would begin a review and may lead to changes in the code.
There have been changes over the years. But, if we are to show
faithfulness, arbitrarily violating one or more portions of the
lifestyle statement is not an alternative. We have agreed to abide
by the current statement until it is changed by the institution.
Ignorance of Bethel's lifestyle practices is inexcusable, be-cause
they are clearly stated in all application packets.
It is possible there are those who are now members of this
community who should not be here because of serious disagree-ments
with Bethel's lifestyle or because of a lack of faithfulness.
They should either reconcile their disagreements and abide by
the code or go somewhere more compatible with their beliefs.
No one is forced to remain at Bethel. We are all here by choice.
The rest of us must realize and accept all the responsibilities
that are implied by faithfulness. We must practice the Bethel
lifestyle personally and with prayer, concern, and even confron-tation
encourage others to also accept their responsibility while
at Bethel College. We must also continue to examine, review,
and when necessary, revise our policies as a community, to
maintain a proper perspective while seeking the will of God for
our institution.
If Bethel is to remain a strong distinctive alternative in higher
education, we must all practice faithfulness.

who lobby to change
laws concerning the use of
financial aid given to third
world countries. "So often
money goes to pay for other
needs' (e.g. military aid) or if
it does go to the truly needy, it
is only on a temporary daily
basis." Bread for the World's
philosophy hinges on the fact
that starvation will continue
to occur until financial aid is
used for more than just feed-ing
people on a day-to-day
basis. We are not only respon-sible
to give of what we have,
but to make sure that what
we give is used in a manner
pleasing to God.
This philosophy is echoed
in a song written by Warren
and Dan Cassada entitled,
"Better to Give-." The song
compares the feelings of a
man rich with "God-given"
bounty and a woman trying
to survive on the nothing that
God has "given" her:
So she questions the feeling
she has in her heart
Is there really a God who
hears her pray?
And he questions the panic it
has in his heart
That he has to give what God
gave him away.
The drive to get more takes
away from the poor
I know it's so hard to believe
When all we need do is think
these words through
It's better to give than receive.

Opening
IM games
set back
Varsity sports aren't the
only activities affected by the
recent snow. The opening day
of IM softball was postponed
due to the snow.
Craig Haugen, IM softball
director, said he is working to
reschedule the two games
each team missed on April 16.
With only an eight-game sche-dule
it is necessary to get in as
many games as possible.
It appears that the missed
games will be played some-time
during the week rather
than their usual weekend date.
While coed volleyball has
been progressing for the most
part without problems it too
saw a slate of games cancelled
by the April 14 snowfall. Al-though
the courts were fine,
players were unable to reach
the gym.
Despite missing one night
of play teams have already
played four games and are
halfway through their sche-dules.
The playoffs will be
played in two weeks.

in the final by a 21 - 14, 21 - 12
score. "I had some allergy
trouble the night before the
finals so I had to take an
antihistamine which made me
feel a little groggy during the
match."
Although the players were
pleased with their play they
were also a little disappointed
at not being able to win a
team place and not receiving
any financial support from
Bethel.
"If we had two guys that
had done nothing we would
have been second place easy,"
said Bakken, who earned a
$300 scholarship for his place.
"Next yea-r if we get some'
people to go we could win it
(the team title)."

"If we were asking a lot I
would understand not getting
any help," said Trautmann.
"But it would be nice to get
just a little help here and
there. Paul has really put
Bethel on the map and it's
great advertising for Bethel,
too."
Athletic Director George
Henry is not unsympathetic
of the players' needs, but he
explains it isn't easy to just
give money out.
"I sure am sympathetic to
sending quality kids some-place,"
he said. "But when you
have only $150,000 to sup-port
16 varsity sports, where
do you find money to support
others? We don't have enough
money to adequately support
our current sports."
"I offer them congratula-tions,"
Henry added. "I think
it's great they've done so well
but do we give up one sport to
finance them?"
Bakken, who has tried to
get money the past three
years, understands the situa-tion
but thinks it's unfortu-nate
some money isn't avail-able.
"I do realize their hands are
tied but I wish we could get
more players down there (to
the tournament)," he said. "I
think it's too bad they're let-ting
a national title go down
like that."

The MIAC is known as one
of the best small college con-ferences
in the nation, but
you would be hard pressed to
tell it judging by the confer-ence's
team names.
Here is a ranking of the
team names, from best to
worst:
1. Bethel Royals—accord-ing
to the dictiOnary: "Of or
pertaining to a king," and in
Bethel's case, the king of the
forest, the lion. Not bad.
2. St. Mary's Red Men—
since it was once an all-female
school, it is surprising the
name is not lied Persons. This
team name is short for North
American Indians. Not bad,
either, but not very original,
there are a lOt of teams named
after Indians.
3. Hamline !Pipers—accord-by
John Lilleberg
It seems the red-hot wom-en's
tennis team has finally
met its match—snow! After
an initial loss to St. Thomas,
the team swept its next three
matches. This week all duel
meets were cancelled due to
winter's untimely—but ex-tremely
successful—come-back.
However, the team did
participate in an individual
tournament at Macalester.
Once again the team was well
represented by its individ-uals—
in particular Kathy Lee.
Lee began winning her first
two matches against oppo-nents
from the University of
Minnesota at Duluth and St.
Cloud State. Lee then faltered
against an opponent from
Carleton in the semifinals. She
later lost the third place
match. Despite the fourth
place finish Lee had mixed
feelings about her play, "I
was good and -bad. I had two
good matches and two bad
ones—but I won one of the
bad ones."
Sarah Runion represented
4. Macalester Scots—im-agine
Bethel's name as the
"Swedes." Not a very good
team name.
5. Concordia Cobbers-
Concordia is in the middle of
corn country, and a cobber is
someone who strips corn. A
fitting, but stupid name.
6. Gustavus Adolphus
Gusties—short for Gustavus
Adolphus because no one can
pronounce it. At least they
have an excuse for not having
an original team name.
Bethel in the other singles
spot. In the first round Run-ion
won a cliffhanger against
a tough Carleton opponent.
She lost her next two matches
to players from Southwest
State.
In doubles, the teams of
Sherri Isvik-Connie Masters
and Sharon Johnson-Lisa Iver-son
lost their first round
matches. Despite the losses
the girls did not seem too dis-appointed
in the face of such
stiff competition. As Iverson
put it,‘"We played pretty well.
It was tough competition—
there were a lot of division
two schools there."
One of the obstacles that
the team is experiencing is
the fact that other schools
have access to indoor practice
facilities. Bethel has been able
to acquire only limited court
time. One look at the team's
record shows that this has
not been a factor thus far.
However, only time will tell if
the layoff will hurt the team
in the long run.
The next match will be to-morrow,
April 23, at St. Scho-lastica.
new conference member
Carleton Carls, and St. Olaf
Oles—all these schools lack
the creativity to have a real
team name, so they just add
'ies' to the first syllable of
their school name. Thankful-ly,
our founding fathers did
not fall prey to such dullness,
The Bethel Bethies sounds a
bit too pansy-like.
11. St. John's johnnies—far
and away loser; not only is
creativity lacking, but the re-sult
is slang for toilets. Be-cause
it is an all-male school,
you could say slang for men's
rooms, too. Even their pep

are worse.

Trainers keep athletes active
by Lynnette Monter
Where does an athlete go
after suffering an injury? The
training room. Neal Dutton,
Bethel's athletic trainer, and
seven student trainers assist
in the rehabilitation of injured
athletes.
"We have a well-equipped
training room for a school
this size," Dutton said. Among
the equipment available for
injured athletes are a whirl-pool,
Orthotron (a rehabilita-tion
machine specifically for
ankles and knees), Fitron (for
injured athletes to rebuild
strength), plus various forms
of electro-therapeutic ma-chines.
A graduate of Eastern
Washington University, Dut-ton
majored in physical edu-cation
with an emphasis on
athletic training. He then re-ceived
his Master's Degree at
South Dakota State Univer-sity
where he served as a
graduate assistant athletic
trainer.
Dutton has been been at
Bethel for three years. Dutton
travels with the football and
hockey teams and is respon-sible
for the health of the
players. The other teams each
have their own student train-ers.
Dutton is in charge of eval-uating
athletic injuries and
prescribing treatment. Ath-letes
who suffer injuries re-ceive
treatment before and
after practice. "Athletes must
have a least full range of mo-tion
and at least 80% of their
strength before they can re-turn
to action," said Dutton.
The team physician has the

"When it rains, it pours,"
says the Morton's salt slogan.
When it comes to describ-ing
Minnesota snow we need
a different ditty. How about
"when it snows, it comes at
the wrong time of the year."
That would probably be
baseball coach Neal Dutton's
sentiment. With the season
not even half over, the Royal
baseball team has already had
nine games cancelled, with
four of the contests being
MIAC games.
"At first I was really frus-trated,"
said Dutton of the
cancelled games. "But now its
gotten to be kind of funny.
There's no sense in getting
frustrated when you can't do
anything about it."
Bethel has gotten only eight
games in so far this season
final say as to when an ath-lete
can resume training said
Dutton.
The student trainers are re-sponsible
for travelling with
a team, taping injuries, pre-game
preparation, exercising
with the athletes, and attend-ing
practices and games to
watch for injuries. "We have
an excellent staff of student
trainers," said Dutton.
Before admitted, the student
trainers go through an appli-cation
and screening process.
They must complete 1,800
hours of athletic training be-fore
they can graduate. Then
they are eligible to take the
National Certification Test for
Athletic Trainers.
and six of them came during
the team's trip to Texas dur-ing
spring break. Unfortun-ately
the Royals were over-matched
in Texas and
dropped a doubleheader to
Hamline on April 11, leaving
Bethel's record at 0-8.
But Dutton isn't overly con-cerned
with his team's record
now. Two of the defeats in
Texas came at the hands of a
team that had just taken a
pair of games from the num-ber-
one ranked University
Texas Longhorns.
What does have Dutton con-cerned,
however, is all the
time the players have spent in
the gym practicing.
"I feel bad for the guys,"
explained Dutton. "We went
down to Texas and the play-ers
saw how great it was to
get outside and now we have
to get back into the gym. I
don't want them to get dis-

"I really enjoy the program
because it gives us a chance to
work with all the teams," said
Willard.
Willard; the softball student
trainer this session, is cur-rently
planning a career as a
high school athletic trainer.
"One of the main goals is to
see all the ropes an athletic
trainer goes through and just
being in charge of the health
and physical aspect of the
athletes," she said.
couraged."
Against Hamline the Roy-als
failed to get the hits when
they most needed them. With
a chance to win the first game
Bethel failed to score with the
bases loaded and one out in
the sixth inning.
"The second game we just
didn't hit," commented Dut-ton.
"We had no errors in both
games so I'm happy about
that."
If bad weather forces post-ponement
or cancellations of
many more MIAC games there
could be a major problem in
deciding a league champion.
A team has to play one-half of
its games to officially win the
title.
"It's possible that we might
not have a true league cham-pion,"
said Dutton.
Which would be very fit-ting,
since we haven't had a
true spring this year either.

Paul Bakken (left) awaits Dave Trautmann's hit as the pair practice. Bakken, Trautmann and Kathy Stellema all brought medals in a
national collegiate racquetball tournament at Memphis, TN. Childs/photo
Three Bethel racquetball players
went to the national collegiate rac-quetball
tournament and their per-formance
helped to put Bethel's name
on the map in collegiate circles.
Leading the way was a second-place
finish by Paul Bakken in the
number-one singles division. Dave
Trautmann came up with a third-place
performance in the number-two
singles and Kathy Stellema also
placed third in her division.
Bakken and Trautmann scored
enough points to take the second spot
in team scoring in the tournament
played at Memphis, TN. Unfortunate-ly,
they didn't qualify because they ,
didn't have a doubles team. Along
with Stellema's points the trio could
have been the first place team, but
again didn't have enough qualifying
players.
"We kind of got rooked," said Stel-
Kathy Stellema
lema of the situation. "It really doesn't
make much sense but those are the
rules."
Stellema advanced through three
rounds of play before losing in the
semi-finals. Playing in the consola-tion
game, Stellema gained second
place winning by 21-10 and 21-7
scores. Her efforts netted Stellema a
$200 scholarship for placing third.
Trautmann went through five
rounds before losing. Falling behind
after losing the first game 19-21,
Trautmann came back strong to take
third 21-11 and 11-2. Trautmann also
earned a $200 scholarship for third
place.
"I haven't played in a tournament
for a while so when it came to the
semis I wasn't mentally prepared to
play," said Trautmann of his play. "I
was able to put it together in the third
place game, though."
After teaming up with Don Consta-ble
and taking the doubles champion-ship
the past two years, Bakken de-cided
to try his hand in singles play.
Bakken played well throughout the
tourney but lost to the defending
champ in the final.

Women
avoid
elements
by Rich Whybrew
Foul weather has plagued
the spring sports season, but
the women's track team avoid-ed
last week's blizzard by
traveling way down south to
New Ulm, MN to run in a
four-team meet hosted by
DMLC. The team finished sec-ond
overall, and qualified sev-eral
women for the confer-ence
meet in May.
Linda Channer, who has
already qualified for nationals
in the 5,000 meters, was the
team's top performer once
again. She won the 5,000 in a
wind-hampered 18:07, then
won the 3,000 meters in 11:03.
First time performer Pam
Becker was a smash at the
meet, taking first in the dis-cus
with a toss of 110 191/2"; a
throw which qualified her for
the conference. meet. Kris
Hartzell also qualified for the
conference meet by taking
third in the 100 meter hur-dles.
Laurie Staurseth was
fourth in that race.
Kendra French took second
in the 200 meter dash at 28.7,
Terri Thompson was second
in the 400 meter hurdles while
Staurseth was fifth, the 800
meter relay team was second
and the 400 meter relay team
third. Rachel Urban ran a per-sonal
record in the 1500 me-ters
to take fifth, and she also
took fourth in the 3000 meters.
"We have a real advantage
now over the other confer-ence
teams," said Head Coach
Cindy Book. "We've run twice
outdoors now, while many of
the other teams haven't run
outdoors at all."
Bethel netters need experience
Young Royal tennis team finds life tough in MIAC
by John Lilleberg
The inexperienced men's
tennis team found out how
tough the MIAC can be as
they ran into the two most
feared teams in the confer-ence
last week.
Things began with an away
match against mighty Gusta-vus
at Lund Arena in St. Peter.
The result was a 9-0 victory
for the defending conference
champions from Gustavus.
The score is not unusual for
Bethel matches against the
Gusties. Last year Bethel's 8-
1 loss (with the lone Bethel
win coming from Dave McIver
and Tim Magnuson in dou-bles)
marked the only time
the Royals had ever won a
match against the Gusties.
The final score was the
same (9-0) against St. Olaf.
The Royals did, however,
have some close matches
against the perennial confer-ence
number two team. The
most notable of these was the
third doubles match with Kurt
Berg and Scott Moyer repre-senting
Bethel.
Despite the losses this sea-son
the team has not been
disheartened. There is a sense
of frustration among some of
the players but no one has
given up. Number one singles
player Ken Dahlquist summed
up the situation, "It's tough
when we play teams with
indoor courts who hit every-day.
I think we have a good
attitude. We're young—main-ly
freshmen and some sopho-mores—
and we know the
other teams have more ex-perience."
This afternoon, April 22, at
3 p.m. the team will attempt
to defeat Hamline for the sec-ond
year in a row in a home
match.

Warren sings for others' suppers
by Laurie Lindahl
I failed Journalism 101 to-day.
I interviewed'Scott War-ren,
professional Christian
performer, without doing my
"homework." Before the inter-view,
all I knew about Warren
was that he is doing a benefit
concert for Bread for the
World at 7:30 this evening,
April 22, in the Robertson
Physical Education Center.
(Tickets are $3 at the door).
Now, as all good journal-ists
know, the first rule to
good interviewing is to know
something about your inter-viewee.
This is called theory.
It is found in textbooks and
on chalkboards. Occasionally,
theory gets lost in a boring
book and reality erases the
board with only a shadow of
chalk left to outline those
proverbial keys to success.
This happens enough so that
we are not shaken when it
does and happily surprised
when it does not.
I was happily surprised by
Scott Warren. He fuses the-ory,
or his philosophy of
things, into the practice of his
music in a way that refuses to
bore or pamper his audience.
He is subtle. "I like to make
people think about what I'm
saying without having to spell
it out to them," he said. "I
want them to listen and draw
their own conclusions."
In this way, Warren is like
an artist painting a picture—
there are many different in-terpretations,
but each person
must find his or her own.
This is rather new for those of
us on the Christian concert
consortium who are used to
being told what a song is
going to say even before
we hear it. This is part of
what makes Scott Warren
unique—he refuses to spoon-feed
his audience.
"When I compose," he said,
"I try to write about what my
audience needs to hear, not
what they want to hear." This
is no easy task, especially
considering the variety of peo-ple
he plays to. Whether he is
playing in a club, a state uni-versity
or a private college,
his main concern is to be able
to communicate to a non-
Christian audience. "For a
long time, Christian artists
have tended to edify the Chris-tian
community—and that's
important too—but I think
the real place we should be
sowing seeds is in the non-
Christian marketplace," he
said. "Too often we ignore or
neglect this responsibility."
Ah, responsibility . . . Does
this have anything to do with
the fact that you are doing a
benefit concert for Bread for
the World? I asked. Warren
smiled. "I believe in Bread for
the World because it is an
organization that is seeking
to claim this responsibility,"
he said.

Three criteria guide Bethel admission policy
by Paul Davis
Bethel has an admissions
policy based on three areas.
The first of the three re-quirements
is the academic
area. This is the most impor-tant
area of consideration.
Three things are evaluated in
this area. First is the appli-cant's
previous academic rec-ord.
This is usually the high
school transcript. Second is
the applicant's rank in the
class. Only students in the 50
and above percentile are con-sidered
for regular admission.
Third is the college entrance
exam score.
According to Dan Nelson,
director of enrollment, the
most important aspect is the
student's actual overall per-formance.
"We look for stu-dents
with more college prep
courses, social studies, math,
science, and foreign language.
Students with a 2.0 GPA or
higher are considered for ad-mission.
The second area of require-ment
is the Christian Faith
Statement. This is a statement
found in the application pack-et,
that reads: "Do you con-sider
yourself a Christian?" It
is followed by a "yes" box and
a "no" box. The applicant is to
check the appropriate box,
and then to explain the an-swer.
These are read by the
admissions committee, which
consists of Phil Kimball, direc-tor
of admissions, Chet Duck,
registrar, and a member of the
student development office.
The committee decides
whether the explanation is ac-ceptable.
If it is not, the appli-cant
is informed of the rea-son,
and admission to Bethel
is denied.
For students wishing to ap-peal
the decision, an appeals
procedure is available. An ap-peals
committee made up of
students and faculty meets on
demand to review appeals. A
student can be admitted to
Bethel upon request of the
appeals committee.
The third basis for admis-sion
is the acceptance of the
Bethel lifestyle. The lifestyle
statement must be dated and
signed for acceptance, if it is
not, the application form is
returned to the applicant to
be signed. When the signed
form is received, the admis-sions
board will consider ad-mitting
the applicant.
There is more than one type
of admission. The first kind is
regular admission. Most of
the students at Bethel (85-
90%) are admitted "regularly."
This means that the student
has submitted all of the nec-essary
forms for admission,
his or her admission has been
reviewed by the admissions
board, and he or she has been
accepted.
The second kind of admis-sion
is a provisional admis-sion.
These applicants have
met all of the requirements
except the academics. But the
admissions committee feels
that they have the ability to
do well at the college level, if
they adhere to special stipu-lations.
Some are not allowed
to participate in extra-cur-ricular
activities, or are re-quired
to participate in study
groups.
The third kind of admis-sion
is special admission. This
is given to community mem-bers
or employees who wish
to pick up an extra course, but
who are not looking for a
degree.

Christians' 'dialects'
build needless barriers
"Have you invited Jesus to step into your heart? He's
standing outside knocking, but the only doorknob is on the
inside," said the Sunday school teacher.
My German friend—a committed Christian—looked
blank. She didn't know the dialect. She could talk about
confession of her sins and communion with her Lord and
obedience, but not about hearts with pedestrians and
doorknobs. Neither my friend nor the teacher could translate
the other's way of talking about her experience.
This friend of mine, as loyal a Catholic as I am a Baptist,
left the Sunday school class with the feeling that she had
been weighed in the balance and found wanting.
What was it that prevented these two "sisters" from
knowing and feeling their common bond? From glorifying
their God together? Language, it seems, can be a barrier as
well as a bridge between humans.
I'm very sorry that my friend and my Sunday school
teacher missed an uncommon opportunity: glorifying God
together with a "stranger."
I would never wish or pray for a watered-down version of
Christianity in which any individual's relationship to God is
undermined "just so that we can all agree." But I do pray, and
earnestly, that brothers and sisters can get past differing
descriptions to the shared meaning they camouflage.

To the women of Bethel:
Recently in a New Bedford,
Massachusetts bar, a young
mother was brutally gang-raped
on a pool table. Twelve
other men in the bar re-sponded
to her screams for
help during the two-hour or-deal
by cheering the rapist.
About the same time, four
Bethel men left notes in the
POs of ten Bethel women,
honoring them as the "Top
Ten Women at Bethel."
We respond to this "Top
Ten" list with the same rage
shown by the citizens of New
Bedford who gutted the bar;
we will not tolerate attitudes
that regard women as objects.
This list, published by the
"Phoenomenal (sic) Fours,"
may seem innocuous corn-pared
to the rape, but it comes
from the same mentality
which treats women as less
than complete human beings.
On a list such as this, worn-en
are evaluated by our phys-ical
appearances rather than
by our abilities, experiences,
and perceptions. Women are
valued only insofar as we
relate to men, not as human
beings.
The men who stood by and
watched the young woman
raped saw her not as a human
being whose body was her
own, but as chattel, whose
body was for their use.
We are more than pieces of
meat, to be rated "1-10" on
"harmless, fun" lists. "Harm-less,
fun," sexist, objectifying
lists form attitudes which al-low
twelve men to watch a
fellow human being's person
brutally violated.
We, the undersigned, refuse
to tolerate these "fun" jokes
any more than we tolerate
brutal rapes. We ask women
at Bethel to become aware of
these painful attitudes and to
seek one another's strength
and support in fighting
against them.

Current surveys show that
98 of the students currently in
science courses at Bethel are
interested in the health
sciences.
In the past, these students
have been left alone in plan-ning
their courses in these
areas. But beginning next
year, a new health professions
advisor will be available to
help students. This position
will be filled by Dale Steph-ens,
professor of chemistry.
According to Stephens, "stu-dents
need to be aware of
options other than medical
school."
This new advisor will begin
next fall to help students plan
their future in the medical
fields. The responsibilities of
this advisor will be: 1) To
gather and maintain informa-tion
from all schools and pro-grams
in health-related fields,
2) coordinate activities of the
student group(s), 3) advise
students on course selection
for the specific programs they
are pursuing, 4) assist in pre-paring
students for MCAT

"I can't believe how fast the last nine miles went by," said the
wave as it rolled with great anticipation toward shore.
"Only a half mile and you get to break," stated the second

"The wait really wasn't that bad, I think I even may have

of the final break.

year. Unusually warm tem-peratures
exposed the win-ter-
damaged roads earlier
than usual. Because the as-phalt
companies in the area
did not open until April 8, the
exposed- potholes remained
unfilled until then. Then when
they did the filling, it snowed.
"The snowplows ripped
open the potholes we had al-ready
filled," said Jim Woods,
physical plant director.
The potholes are being filled

An interest in leadership
and motivating people is why
Anderson is running for vice
president though he lacks ex-perience
with Bethel student
government. He is a history
and political science major
with plans for graduate school
in political science.
Barr and Anderson said
they would like to see the
senate as a more viable force
in the community. With a one-ness
of purpose they said they
feel that the students can do
things to affect Bethel and the
community. "We'd like to see
the Bethel community active
in BSA activities," said Barr.
He suggested open forums.
"We- want to be more in
touch with the students," An-derson
added. "with a panel
for questons and a place to
take gripes we want to be a
voice to student organiza-tions."
He said, "We're stress-ing
leadership for the students
representing the students,
pushing for what students
want."
Instead of concentrating on
internal changes in the senate,
Barr said they plan to focus
on external changes that will
have an effect on Bethel and
the community. He said the
internal changes are impor-tant
but will not be their pri-mary
goal.

"Servant leadership made
visible" typifies the style of
leadership Steve Van Sickle
and Bob Thompson hope to
provide as president and vice •
president of BSA.
"We plan to live what we're
doing," said Van Sickle. "We'll
assess the role of president
and vice president and fit
them to our personal talents.
That way we can use our
strengths in important areas."
Both Van Sickle and
Thompson served as student
senators last year and as pres-ident
pro tempore this year.
Thompson, a political science
major, resigned from the posi-tion
to commit ample time to
being an AD. Because of sche-duling
conflicts and the dis-tance
involved, the two have
met only once to put together
a campaign and a philosophy.
Recently, Thompson and
Van Sickle attended the 1983
Taylor Leadership Conference
at Taylor University in Indi-ana.
Both were very im-pressed
by that school's stu-dent
government.
"We'd like to incorporate
into the Bethel constitution a
student leadership board that
includes representatives from
not only the BSA, but also
groups such as the Clarion,
Inter-Varsity, and other or-ganizations,"
said Van Sickle.
"The system works very well
at Taylor."
Van Sickle would also like
to institute a fall break for the
1984-85 school year by going
through the proper adminis-trative
channels. "Many peo-ple
I've talked to want a four-or
five-day weekend during
the fall. If we can show there's
a need for it, we can pass it."
Budget cuts threaten the
existence of many organiza-tions
at Bethel. In a time of
declining enrollment, the mon-ey
will become even tighter.
Van Sickle plans to fight for
the retention of as many ac-tivities
as possible. "I feel that
I have a real good hand with
the administration because
I've worked with them on dif-ferent
projects." Van Sickle
would like to open up corn-municatoin
between adminis-trators
and students. "Stu-dents
need to see the pres-ident
walking around, to real-ize
that he's a real person. We
all have a united purpose in
education."
In order for Student Senate
to be effective, Van Sickle
feels that students need to be
involved. However, he does
not entirely blame them, but
places part of the fault on the
BSA for not properly inform-ing
students. Marked for par-ticular
improvement is stu-dent
participation on joint
committees. "Students don't
realize the influence they
have," said Van Sickle. "A lot
of grass roots stuff begins in
committee. Few colleges af-ford
students an equal vote
with faculty on policy issues
like Bethel does."
"Another way we'd like to
see studehts involved is to get
them out in the community.
We need to develop an aware-ness
of BSA outside of Bethel.
It would add credibility to
BSA for the future if we could
pull off some service projects
very professionally. That
way, people won't be afraid to
come here when they need
help."
Van Sickle senses that a
Tack of school spirit plagues
Bethel and keeps it from
reaching its full potential. "It's
been said a lot before, but we
need to develop a real campus
unity. We'd like to create a
parent's booster club, not just
parents of those in athletics,
but any who are interested.
We don't want money, just
support. We'd like to expand
on the good start made this
year."
Van Sickle also hopes to
expand the Student Senate.
"We'd like to work closely
with Campus Coordinator to
make events more palatable.
At the recent Farrell and Far-rell
concert only 200 tickets
were sold to Bethel students.
We need gimmicks and adver-tising
to get people on campus
involved."
An important part of Stu-dent
Senate is the individual
representative. "They must to
be sensitive to the needs and
ideas of their constituency,"
said Van Sickle. "By using the
grapevine they discover com-mon
gripes and positive reac-tions.
At our meetings they
can be discussed and analyzed
to see if anything can be done."
Despite all the proposed
changes, Van Sickle merely
sees next year as a continua-tion
of this one. "Basically we
want to keep up with what
Steve (Goodwin) and Steve
(Lemon) have done. They've
established a good credibility
base, and we'll build from
there."

Anderson. "The one thing we
can come together on is Jesus
Christ to have an emphasis
on one truth rather than
many." He said, "We're also
Christains serving God, seek-ing
to know him better and
receive an education. We need
to have an identity as a Chris-tian
school, not just another
school."
Barr said to vote for them
one would need to believe in
their character and in them as
individuals. "And think we'll
work hard," he added.
"Whatever we do, our focus
should be on Christ," said
Barr. He said they would like
to see the students more in-volved
in community service
and taking political stands.
"We have this idea of what
needs to happen," said An-derson.
"It may be a longer
process than we think [to mo-tivate
people]. We're not ex-actly
sure how we're going to
do it. You don't know how to
begin except to provide strong
leadership."
Barr said he would also like
to see the representatives
speak in the dorms and with
the people they represent.
They said that they would
like the senate representation
to remain by class levels, in
regards to the proposed new
constitution.
Barr said a reorganization
of the financial structure is
needed and he favors the idea
of a student comptroller to
oversee the BSA budgets.
"We want to be more than
someone who shakes his or
her head and smiles, agreeing
with everything," Anderson
said.
Anderson said he thinks he
and Barr can work together.
"We have a unity and a check
and balance," he said.
"We're genuinely con-cerned
about Bethel," said
Barr. "We want to convince
people of our convicton to
serve Bethel. In a nutshell, we
want to be there to serve
Bethel College."
Carlson/Eliason
by JoAnn Watkins
"We see an abundance of
opportunities and they're ex-citing
opportunities," said
Barry Carlson, candidate for
BSA President.
"We're in this to do our jobs
and to do it well," said his
vice-presidential running
mate, Marilyn Eliason.
Carlson, a business major,
brings experience from his
own company as well as 3-
M and Control Data. He pres-ently
serves on the Food Ser-vice
committee and is a mem-ber
of the Bethel Business
Association. "I know there are
a lot of things I can bring to
BSA," said Carlson. Though
Carlson met Eliason within
the last two weeks he said he
does not see any problems.
"Of the six running no one is
as qualified as Marilyn."
As .BSA Executive Secre-tary
this year and as a senator
during her freshman and
sophomore years, Eliason has
experience working with sen-ate.
She has served as chair-person
of the Public Action
Committee, on the committee
for handicapped students,
member of the Hunger Action
Coalition for Minnesota, Mid-west
Regional coordinator for
the American Association for
Evangelical Students and Na-tional
Publications Director
for AAES. She is presently 'a'
member of the Convocations
Committee and involved in
the campaign for financial aid.
"Our campaign is centered
around a holistic atmosphere:
spiritual, academic, and so-cial,"
said Eliason. She said
they hope to make the student
organization more visible and
continue the programs of ser-vice
that BSA is involved
with.
"We'd like to establish a
committee for getting people
excited for what's going on at
Bethel," said Carlson. He ex-plained
that this committee
would promote school spirit
and beginning new Bethel
traditions.
Other issues the two can-didates
wish to address is the
inclusion of students in the
process of establishing the
budget. They said they would
like to bring back the All-
School Banquet. Carlson said
he would like to see students
working to promote the image
of the Bethel student in the
Twin Cities area.
As vice-president of the
BSA, Eliason's duties would
center around the Student
Senate. She said she plans to
work for an efficiently run
senate. "I'd like to see a train-ing
program for senators so
they know more about the
senate and how it functions,"
she said.
Another idea to • increase
comunication with the stu-dents
is a news flyer to go in
the dining areas regarding is-sues
the BSA is dealing with.
"We want students to know
what they're paying for and
to get what they're paying
for," said Eliason. "Most peo-ple
don't know how to voice
their views about decisions
such as where their money is
being spent." She said, "Stu-dents
are paying more and
more and more and getting
less and less and less."
"We've got to find a way to
make people see the good
they're accomplishing as sen-ators
and how they are bene-fiting
themselves," Carlson
said. "They have to see beyond
sitting in meetings and see
what they are doing in the
long run."
"If BSA represents the
school then the entire school
should be represented in the
BSA," said Eliason. She said
she would like to see the un-derclassmen
better represent-ed
and involved in the BSA
organizations. "The role," she
said, "of the BSA is to work to
get the students together and
work together."
Carlson said he and Eliason
fit together well in relation to
their experience and ideas,
and that they both feel they
can work together.
"Our purpose is to promote
what we can do best for the
students," said Eliason. "We're
in this to do our jobs and to do
them well." She said, "We
don't have all the answers,
but we want to give it our
best shot."

Campus recruiting, job offers down for class of '83
(CPS)—Despite some encour-aging
signs that the nation's
economy may be starting to
pull out of the worst Ameri-can
recession since World War
II, the recovery has yet to
show up on campus, and prob-ably
won't in time to help this
spring's graduates find jobs
right away, college placement
officers say.
In fact, campus recruiting
and the number of job offers
to graduating seniors are
down again this spring, while
experts say starting salaries
are lagging behind even the
declining inflation rate.
Even engineers and compu-ter
science majors, who gen-erally
have had their pick of
jobs in recent years, are hav-ing
more trouble getting work
this spring, the officers add.
"Last year was a tough year,
and this year's going to be
even worse," warns Victor
Lindquist, placement chief at
Northwestern University and
director of the Endicott Re-port,
an annual survey of job
prospects for college grads
nationwide.
"For the Class of '83, it'll be
the toughest year since World
War II," adds Jack Shingleton,
Michigan State's placement
director and coordinator of
that school's annual national
student job survey.
Other campus placement di-rectors
report spring recruit-ment
is off as much as 50 per-cent
from last year's de-pressed
levels.
Consequently, the summer
job market will be - more
crowded than ever, with fewer
jobs available as companies
continue to delay hiring new
employees.
"There'll be 1,300,000 stu-dents
graduating this spring,"
Shingleton points out. "There'll
be a million jobs open."
Overall, Shingleton thinks
students with bachelor's de-grees
will get 17 percent fewer
job offers than a year ago.
Liberal arts majors will
have the hardest time finding
work, Shingleton's study
found.
Things are better for elec-trical
engineers, computer
science, business and other
engineering grads, in that or-der.
Oregon State Associate
Placement Director Majorie
McBride is urging students to
"get out and contact employ-ers
directly," rather than rely-ing
on campus interviews.
"This year is just the worst
I've ever seen," she moans.
"We'll be hiring considera-bly
less this year," says Phil
DeLong, spokesman for the
American Telephone and Tel-egraph's
college recruitment
division. "Partly because of
the economy, and partly be-cause
of our divestiture pro-ceedings,
we're taking a cau-tious,
wait-and-see attitude."
admissions, from page 1
is special admission. This is
given to community members
or employees who wish to
pick up an extra course, but
who are not looking for a
degree.
The last kind of admission
is credential admission. "This
is the rarest type of admis-sion,"
said Nelson, "there are
only four to six in any given
year." These students take
classes, but are not enrolled
as students. They come to
Bethel for one year or one
semester, the amount of time
is determined by the admis-sions
committee. These stu-dents
receive no financial aid,
and are placed on the bottom
of the housing priority list. If
they show that they can han-dle
the college level work,
they are allowed to enroll as
regular students and their
grades are put on their per-manent
records.
According to Nelson, the
statement of faith is more
important than the academ-ics.
"Bethel is not a mission,"
said Nelson. "We don't want
people to parrot what they
have heard when they sign
the profession of faith. There's
a difference between saying it
and really coming to grips
with it," said Nelson.
"Bethel is under pressure to
lower academic standards,
but we have not," said Nel-son.
"We know who we are,
and everyone else knows who
we are," he added.
The number of students ad-mitted
each year is about 85-
90% of the number of applica-tions
received. Of the appli-cations
received between 5%
and 8% are flatly , rejected.
This low denial rate is due to
the fact that most applicants
know what Bethel is about,
said Nelson. Surveys taken in
the fall of the freshman year
show a high degree of satis-faction
with Bethel.
Nelson said that the big-gest
reason for next year's
drop in continuing students is
the large number of graduates
this year. "The administration
has successfully cut the bud-get
without cutting offerings,"
said Nelson. "Next year's stu-dents
receive no _reduc-tion
of service from Bethel."

Poe-style puzzler
to pique cryptographers
by Mike Doran
Here is a cryptogram. Solve it for a five dollar prize!
Edgar Allen Poe began a type of cryptography in his tale "The
Gold Bug." This type of cryptography has a form in which the
letters for the coded message are changed around. The punctua-tion
remains the same. For instance, `#' could equal `t,"3' could
equal 'h,' and `f could equal `e,'; therefore, '413i' equals 'the.' Read
"The Gold Bug" for further help if need be.
Turn in the solved cryptogram with your name and PO to the
Clarion office by April 29 and from the correct entries a winner
will be drawn. The winner will be announced in the May 6 Cla-rion.
Procede with this clue: it is from a Shakespearian play.

The newly distributed 1983-84 Registration catalog has on
page 5 "An Invitation to Bethel College." Included in this invita-tion
are basic principles upon which all activities at Bethel are
built. The fourth of these principles states "The reality of the
Christian life will be apparent in personalities that show the
`fruit of the spirit....love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, good-ness,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. — The familiar
passage from Galatians that is used here includes many attri-butes
that are evident in a Christian's life. However, I would like
to zero in on just one, faithfulness, and one way it applies to the
Bethel community.
Being faithful is to be true to one's word, promise, or vow. In
the Bethel community most people try to be faithful to all of their
commitments. However, there appears to be an increasing num-ber
who are unfaithful to a specific commitment they have
made: to live acccording to the Bethel lifestyle statement. It is
difficult to determine how widespread this problem is at this
time, but the consensus seems to be that incidents of lifestyle
violation are on the rise.
Every member of the Bethel community has made a commit-ment
to live by a lifestyle that is very specific and clearly stated.
Students who apply for admission sign a statement that reads,
"I am acquainted with the Bethel lifestyle as stated in the admis-sions
catalog and/or the admission application packet. I am
willing to accept this lifestyle pattern as my own while at
Bethel." Faculty and staff sign a similar agreement when signing
a contract to be employed at Bethel.
If we disagree with portions of the lifestyle statement there is
a procedure any member of the community may initiate that
would begin a review and may lead to changes in the code.
There have been changes over the years. But, if we are to show
faithfulness, arbitrarily violating one or more portions of the
lifestyle statement is not an alternative. We have agreed to abide
by the current statement until it is changed by the institution.
Ignorance of Bethel's lifestyle practices is inexcusable, be-cause
they are clearly stated in all application packets.
It is possible there are those who are now members of this
community who should not be here because of serious disagree-ments
with Bethel's lifestyle or because of a lack of faithfulness.
They should either reconcile their disagreements and abide by
the code or go somewhere more compatible with their beliefs.
No one is forced to remain at Bethel. We are all here by choice.
The rest of us must realize and accept all the responsibilities
that are implied by faithfulness. We must practice the Bethel
lifestyle personally and with prayer, concern, and even confron-tation
encourage others to also accept their responsibility while
at Bethel College. We must also continue to examine, review,
and when necessary, revise our policies as a community, to
maintain a proper perspective while seeking the will of God for
our institution.
If Bethel is to remain a strong distinctive alternative in higher
education, we must all practice faithfulness.

who lobby to change
laws concerning the use of
financial aid given to third
world countries. "So often
money goes to pay for other
needs' (e.g. military aid) or if
it does go to the truly needy, it
is only on a temporary daily
basis." Bread for the World's
philosophy hinges on the fact
that starvation will continue
to occur until financial aid is
used for more than just feed-ing
people on a day-to-day
basis. We are not only respon-sible
to give of what we have,
but to make sure that what
we give is used in a manner
pleasing to God.
This philosophy is echoed
in a song written by Warren
and Dan Cassada entitled,
"Better to Give-." The song
compares the feelings of a
man rich with "God-given"
bounty and a woman trying
to survive on the nothing that
God has "given" her:
So she questions the feeling
she has in her heart
Is there really a God who
hears her pray?
And he questions the panic it
has in his heart
That he has to give what God
gave him away.
The drive to get more takes
away from the poor
I know it's so hard to believe
When all we need do is think
these words through
It's better to give than receive.

Varsity sports aren't the
only activities affected by the
recent snow. The opening day
of IM softball was postponed
due to the snow.
Craig Haugen, IM softball
director, said he is working to
reschedule the two games
each team missed on April 16.
With only an eight-game sche-dule
it is necessary to get in as
many games as possible.
It appears that the missed
games will be played some-time
during the week rather
than their usual weekend date.
While coed volleyball has
been progressing for the most
part without problems it too
saw a slate of games cancelled
by the April 14 snowfall. Al-though
the courts were fine,
players were unable to reach
the gym.
Despite missing one night
of play teams have already
played four games and are
halfway through their sche-dules.
The playoffs will be
played in two weeks.

"If we were asking a lot I
would understand not getting
any help," said Trautmann.
"But it would be nice to get
just a little help here and
there. Paul has really put
Bethel on the map and it's
great advertising for Bethel,
too."
Athletic Director George
Henry is not unsympathetic
of the players' needs, but he
explains it isn't easy to just
give money out.
"I sure am sympathetic to
sending quality kids some-place,"
he said. "But when you
have only $150,000 to sup-port
16 varsity sports, where
do you find money to support
others? We don't have enough
money to adequately support
our current sports."
"I offer them congratula-tions,"
Henry added. "I think
it's great they've done so well
but do we give up one sport to
finance them?"
Bakken, who has tried to
get money the past three
years, understands the situa-tion
but thinks it's unfortu-nate
some money isn't avail-able.
"I do realize their hands are
tied but I wish we could get
more players down there (to
the tournament)," he said. "I
think it's too bad they're let-ting
a national title go down
like that."
by Mike Doran
The MIAC is known as one
of the best small college con-ferences
in the nation, but
you would be hard pressed to
tell it judging by the confer-ence's
team names.
Here is a ranking of the
team names, from best to
worst:
1. Bethel Royals—accord-ing
to the dictiOnary: "Of or
pertaining to a king," and in
Bethel's case, the king of the
forest, the lion. Not bad.
2. St. Mary's Red Men—
since it was once an all-female
school, it is surprising the
name is not lied Persons. This
team name is short for North
American Indians. Not bad,
either, but not very original,
there are a lOt of teams named
after Indians.
3. Hamline !Pipers—accord-by
John Lilleberg
It seems the red-hot wom-en's
tennis team has finally
met its match—snow! After
an initial loss to St. Thomas,
the team swept its next three
matches. This week all duel
meets were cancelled due to
winter's untimely—but ex-tremely
successful—come-back.
However, the team did
participate in an individual
tournament at Macalester.
Once again the team was well
represented by its individ-uals—
in particular Kathy Lee.
Lee began winning her first
two matches against oppo-nents
from the University of
Minnesota at Duluth and St.
Cloud State. Lee then faltered
against an opponent from
Carleton in the semifinals. She
later lost the third place
match. Despite the fourth
place finish Lee had mixed
feelings about her play, "I
was good and -bad. I had two
good matches and two bad
ones—but I won one of the
bad ones."
Sarah Runion represented
4. Macalester Scots—im-agine
Bethel's name as the
"Swedes." Not a very good
team name.
5. Concordia Cobbers-
Concordia is in the middle of
corn country, and a cobber is
someone who strips corn. A
fitting, but stupid name.
6. Gustavus Adolphus
Gusties—short for Gustavus
Adolphus because no one can
pronounce it. At least they
have an excuse for not having
an original team name.
Bethel in the other singles
spot. In the first round Run-ion
won a cliffhanger against
a tough Carleton opponent.
She lost her next two matches
to players from Southwest
State.
In doubles, the teams of
Sherri Isvik-Connie Masters
and Sharon Johnson-Lisa Iver-son
lost their first round
matches. Despite the losses
the girls did not seem too dis-appointed
in the face of such
stiff competition. As Iverson
put it,‘"We played pretty well.
It was tough competition—
there were a lot of division
two schools there."
One of the obstacles that
the team is experiencing is
the fact that other schools
have access to indoor practice
facilities. Bethel has been able
to acquire only limited court
time. One look at the team's
record shows that this has
not been a factor thus far.
However, only time will tell if
the layoff will hurt the team
in the long run.
The next match will be to-morrow,
April 23, at St. Scho-lastica.

Trainers keep athletes active
by Lynnette Monter
Where does an athlete go
after suffering an injury? The
training room. Neal Dutton,
Bethel's athletic trainer, and
seven student trainers assist
in the rehabilitation of injured
athletes.
"We have a well-equipped
training room for a school
this size," Dutton said. Among
the equipment available for
injured athletes are a whirl-pool,
Orthotron (a rehabilita-tion
machine specifically for
ankles and knees), Fitron (for
injured athletes to rebuild
strength), plus various forms
of electro-therapeutic ma-chines.
A graduate of Eastern
Washington University, Dut-ton
majored in physical edu-cation
with an emphasis on
athletic training. He then re-ceived
his Master's Degree at
South Dakota State Univer-sity
where he served as a
graduate assistant athletic
trainer.
Dutton has been been at
Bethel for three years. Dutton
travels with the football and
hockey teams and is respon-sible
for the health of the
players. The other teams each
have their own student train-ers.
Dutton is in charge of eval-uating
athletic injuries and
prescribing treatment. Ath-letes
who suffer injuries re-ceive
treatment before and
after practice. "Athletes must
have a least full range of mo-tion
and at least 80% of their
strength before they can re-turn
to action," said Dutton.
The team physician has the

"When it rains, it pours,"
says the Morton's salt slogan.
When it comes to describ-ing
Minnesota snow we need
a different ditty. How about
"when it snows, it comes at
the wrong time of the year."
That would probably be
baseball coach Neal Dutton's
sentiment. With the season
not even half over, the Royal
baseball team has already had
nine games cancelled, with
four of the contests being
MIAC games.
"At first I was really frus-trated,"
said Dutton of the
cancelled games. "But now its
gotten to be kind of funny.
There's no sense in getting
frustrated when you can't do
anything about it."
Bethel has gotten only eight
games in so far this season
final say as to when an ath-lete
can resume training said
Dutton.
The student trainers are re-sponsible
for travelling with
a team, taping injuries, pre-game
preparation, exercising
with the athletes, and attend-ing
practices and games to
watch for injuries. "We have
an excellent staff of student
trainers," said Dutton.
Before admitted, the student
trainers go through an appli-cation
and screening process.
They must complete 1,800
hours of athletic training be-fore
they can graduate. Then
they are eligible to take the
National Certification Test for
Athletic Trainers.
and six of them came during
the team's trip to Texas dur-ing
spring break. Unfortun-ately
the Royals were over-matched
in Texas and
dropped a doubleheader to
Hamline on April 11, leaving
Bethel's record at 0-8.
But Dutton isn't overly con-cerned
with his team's record
now. Two of the defeats in
Texas came at the hands of a
team that had just taken a
pair of games from the num-ber-
one ranked University
Texas Longhorns.
What does have Dutton con-cerned,
however, is all the
time the players have spent in
the gym practicing.
"I feel bad for the guys,"
explained Dutton. "We went
down to Texas and the play-ers
saw how great it was to
get outside and now we have
to get back into the gym. I
don't want them to get dis-
The student trainers for this
year are seniors Brad Kroulik
and Becky Bloem, juniors Paul
Albinson and Jenny Willard
and sophomores Beth Carlson,
Dean Wennerberg and Jim
Krier.
"I really enjoy the program
because it gives us a chance to
work with all the teams," said
Willard.
Willard; the softball student
trainer this session, is cur-rently
planning a career as a
high school athletic trainer.
"One of the main goals is to
see all the ropes an athletic
trainer goes through and just
being in charge of the health
and physical aspect of the
athletes," she said.
couraged."
Against Hamline the Roy-als
failed to get the hits when
they most needed them. With
a chance to win the first game
Bethel failed to score with the
bases loaded and one out in
the sixth inning.
"The second game we just
didn't hit," commented Dut-ton.
"We had no errors in both
games so I'm happy about
that."
If bad weather forces post-ponement
or cancellations of
many more MIAC games there
could be a major problem in
deciding a league champion.
A team has to play one-half of
its games to officially win the
title.
"It's possible that we might
not have a true league cham-pion,"
said Dutton.
Which would be very fit-ting,
since we haven't had a
true spring this year either.

Paul Bakken (left) awaits Dave Trautmann's hit as the pair practice. Bakken, Trautmann and Kathy Stellema all brought medals in a
national collegiate racquetball tournament at Memphis, TN. Childs/photo
Three Bethel racquetball players
went to the national collegiate rac-quetball
tournament and their per-formance
helped to put Bethel's name
on the map in collegiate circles.
Leading the way was a second-place
finish by Paul Bakken in the
number-one singles division. Dave
Trautmann came up with a third-place
performance in the number-two
singles and Kathy Stellema also
placed third in her division.
Bakken and Trautmann scored
enough points to take the second spot
in team scoring in the tournament
played at Memphis, TN. Unfortunate-ly,
they didn't qualify because they ,
didn't have a doubles team. Along
with Stellema's points the trio could
have been the first place team, but
again didn't have enough qualifying
players.
"We kind of got rooked," said Stel-
Kathy Stellema
lema of the situation. "It really doesn't
make much sense but those are the
rules."
Stellema advanced through three
rounds of play before losing in the
semi-finals. Playing in the consola-tion
game, Stellema gained second
place winning by 21-10 and 21-7
scores. Her efforts netted Stellema a
$200 scholarship for placing third.
Trautmann went through five
rounds before losing. Falling behind
after losing the first game 19-21,
Trautmann came back strong to take
third 21-11 and 11-2. Trautmann also
earned a $200 scholarship for third
place.
"I haven't played in a tournament
for a while so when it came to the
semis I wasn't mentally prepared to
play," said Trautmann of his play. "I
was able to put it together in the third
place game, though."
After teaming up with Don Consta-ble
and taking the doubles champion-ship
the past two years, Bakken de-cided
to try his hand in singles play.
Bakken played well throughout the
tourney but lost to the defending
champ in the final.

Women
avoid
elements
by Rich Whybrew
Foul weather has plagued
the spring sports season, but
the women's track team avoid-ed
last week's blizzard by
traveling way down south to
New Ulm, MN to run in a
four-team meet hosted by
DMLC. The team finished sec-ond
overall, and qualified sev-eral
women for the confer-ence
meet in May.
Linda Channer, who has
already qualified for nationals
in the 5,000 meters, was the
team's top performer once
again. She won the 5,000 in a
wind-hampered 18:07, then
won the 3,000 meters in 11:03.
First time performer Pam
Becker was a smash at the
meet, taking first in the dis-cus
with a toss of 110 191/2"; a
throw which qualified her for
the conference. meet. Kris
Hartzell also qualified for the
conference meet by taking
third in the 100 meter hur-dles.
Laurie Staurseth was
fourth in that race.
Kendra French took second
in the 200 meter dash at 28.7,
Terri Thompson was second
in the 400 meter hurdles while
Staurseth was fifth, the 800
meter relay team was second
and the 400 meter relay team
third. Rachel Urban ran a per-sonal
record in the 1500 me-ters
to take fifth, and she also
took fourth in the 3000 meters.
"We have a real advantage
now over the other confer-ence
teams," said Head Coach
Cindy Book. "We've run twice
outdoors now, while many of
the other teams haven't run
outdoors at all."
Bethel netters need experience
Young Royal tennis team finds life tough in MIAC
by John Lilleberg
The inexperienced men's
tennis team found out how
tough the MIAC can be as
they ran into the two most
feared teams in the confer-ence
last week.
Things began with an away
match against mighty Gusta-vus
at Lund Arena in St. Peter.
The result was a 9-0 victory
for the defending conference
champions from Gustavus.
The score is not unusual for
Bethel matches against the
Gusties. Last year Bethel's 8-
1 loss (with the lone Bethel
win coming from Dave McIver
and Tim Magnuson in dou-bles)
marked the only time
the Royals had ever won a
match against the Gusties.
The final score was the
same (9-0) against St. Olaf.
The Royals did, however,
have some close matches
against the perennial confer-ence
number two team. The
most notable of these was the
third doubles match with Kurt
Berg and Scott Moyer repre-senting
Bethel.
Despite the losses this sea-son
the team has not been
disheartened. There is a sense
of frustration among some of
the players but no one has
given up. Number one singles
player Ken Dahlquist summed
up the situation, "It's tough
when we play teams with
indoor courts who hit every-day.
I think we have a good
attitude. We're young—main-ly
freshmen and some sopho-mores—
and we know the
other teams have more ex-perience."
This afternoon, April 22, at
3 p.m. the team will attempt
to defeat Hamline for the sec-ond
year in a row in a home
match.
